Holidays are just around the corner in Australia, and not only am I going to be 18 for these holidays but I am going to be spending it in Thailand. Of course I'll be doing some study because it's the longest holiday that I will have, and the exams are soon. I'll also be sleeping for maybe two days solid.

Here are some things that I am looking forward to about home:

Real Food

My mum makes the best food in the whole world. My family is from Malta, which is near Italy so we love things that are packed full of carbs (pasta, potato, bread). And then she is a champ at making Thai food, and all that other stuff. Then there are the buffets. I can't believe that the one school that I picked has the worst food available. I am over having half frozen, moldy food for meals.

My Own Bed

There is something so good about sleeping in your own bed. There is something about these beds in my boarding house that won't let me sleep. Maybe it's that I sleep where I work... or maybe it's that everything is so loud because I live with 60 girls. Just saying...

Relaxing

I can't relax at school because whenever I try, I get so worried that i should be studying, and thus I am not truly relaxing. When I go home, I can have a few hours of set study time, but then I can also just relax by the pool or in front of the TV, or even at the gym.

Going Out

Whether it be shopping or going out or night I will be doing it. There's the shops during the day and then the pubs/clubs at night. Or going to the movies. I just want to be doing something other than what I am doing at the moment... which is nothing.

I'm not even sure that I want to go to formal, but I figure that when every one of my friends and my parents demand it of me, I should probably look for a dress. Again... I have no clue what I am doing

This weekend I asked my brother what some good music to listen to when you want to chill out was. He recommended the Gypsy and the Cat...
I was a bit hesitant because of their name, but I think that they have really grown on me...
They Are a Melbourne Band, and are amazing! If you don't want to download them- at least YouTube them. And They are hot.... so take that as you may :)
Here are some of their lyrics

Gypsy and The Cat

Break Away- Gypsy and the Cat

Time to be aloneI, I had a change of viewAnd if I held the worldWould I ever﻿ gainIf I had a dreamWill I see the light

Yesterday I saw a lady needing helpThe only look was someoneHe was laughing on the wayTonight I'll beThe one﻿ to lead the wayA﻿ troubled light will be a distant memory

Gilgamesh- Gypsy and the Cat

Searching for an endless momentYou don't have to say I'm wrong As I float on through this windless orchard Shadows favour all the dark in sightI feel the light, it cuts my faceI'm staring at the wall It won't be long til we embrace I'm knocking on your wall

Lady take me to the magic wallAnd maybe we'll drift on through the world

I miss you every that I'm breathing We couldn't even say goodbye I'm dreaming that your face is smiling It won't be too long til I meet you thereWhere have you run to, I need to knowWhere will I find you, I have to go

Sight Of A Tear- Gypsy and The Cat

Eyes wide shut in another worldSleeping tight was a lonely boyShifting stars on the ceiling wallThere's a night light breathing thereReaching out to the land of the lord from the dark in my roomScreaming out for the light of the soul to be gone from the world that I'm in

You were the nightlightSearching for sunlight hereYou were the nightlightBorn at the sight of a tear

At the sight of a tear

Toss and turn sheets are sliding downWon't awake til the light is foundConscious mind went to say goodbyeNow this dream is floating onJust as I turn and hide from the man I am struck by a light from the moonGuiding me like a knight shining back to my world filled with love scented wounds

Last night I was talking with my friend Anthea- we were lying on the floor of her room, exhausted by the pure thought of doing work. She started ranting loudly about how she would describe how this year has been for her.

"It's like hitting yourself in the head against a piece of wood"

"Sometimes during assessment I get the temptation to bang my head on the desk, because I'm pretty sure that will wake me up"

"I think I'm working hard, and getting tired from it, but then I realize that I am just sitting there, staring at my homework like an idiot"

"Don't try to be perfect... Because you will fail"

"Stay away from your laptop and TV"

"VCE is a unnecessary pain caused by the sadists of the Government"

'It's so hard, because even when you are having scheduled relax time, you are still stressing out about what you are supposed to be doing"

The movie made me cry which is to be expected because the thought of someone dying makes my eyes well up. Basically the guy makes a list of things he wants to do before he dies, after finding out he has a terminal illness.
So I have challenged myself to make a bucket list. I am not sure if it will work or not because I am the kind of person that once I make a list, I get tempted to finish it. I don't really like half doing things. Here goes.

Probably not the smartest Idea for me because I am terrified of heights, but I think it's something that I have to do before I die.

2. Ball Room Dance In A Fancy Dress

Dancing these days usually consists of jumping up and down on the spot with one/ both hands raised in the air. Whilst I love this idea of dancing (because I am highly uncoordinated) I have always wondered what it would be like to sway around the room in a fluffed up fabric.

3. Sleep On a traditional Egyptian Felucca over night.

I love camping but there is something so cool about these boats. Last time I was in Egypt we did a cruise down the Nile, and whilst I loved living it up on a luxurious boat, part of me wonders what it would be like to watch fall asleep under the stars on a boat floating down the Nile.

4. Give Another Person Life

Eg. Mother hood. I've always wanted kids, and I am sure that before I die I will have kids. Even if I can't have a biological child, I would love to adopt. It's a little bit early for me to be thinking about this now though.

5. Go On the Cyclone Roller Coaster Ride at Dreamworld, QLD

When I was younger My dad, Brother and I drove to Queensland from Sydney, we got to dreamworld, lined up for about an hour and before I could get on the ride I chickened out and proceeded to watch my 8 year old brother (2 years younger than me) take my place. Ever since I have held my tounge and just gone on the ride. But this is the one ride that I chickened out of, and before I die I would love the chance to redeem myself.

6. Get A Tattoo

I know my mum said that she will be "Deeply disappointed" in me if I get a tattoo, but I am determined to get one before I die. I don't want to get an all round one like this old fart, but something small that is unique, on my wrist, neck or back. I know it comes across kind of skanky or unkept but to me it just seems cool.

7. Run A marathon for Charity

I'm not a champ runner, but I think with a little bit of training I could get it done. I've done a couple of charity runs already since last year, but I would love to have the achievement of running one before I die.

8. Hug 10 Random People on the Street

I know it's already been done but I'm the kind of person that when I am introduced to someone, I will hug them, unless it's professional of course. I need to put a limit to it, just for myself because I know that once I start, I wont stop.
